I also have the same problem as described in this report. Just reporting
a bit of information that may help:

>From within Myth Frontend I didn't refresh the RSS update of the
available programs for iPlayer for a couple of weeks and tried to play a
program. A message was returned to say the program was no longer
available and suggested the next episode. I clicked on this and the
program played with no problems. It started in a reduced format but the
full screen button was available and worked.  I then did an RSS update
of the available programs and tried to play the same program and this
time got the usual "This content doesn't seem to be working" message

To me this suggests that there is actually no problem with QT webkit
and/or Flashplayer playing this content on my system and that the
problem really is in the MythNetvision code.

Title:
  BBC iPlayer broken in MythNetvision but not in MythBrowser

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I am currently having a problem with an installation of Mythbuntu on
  an existing Kubuntu 10.04 installation.  I have the Mythbuntu-Updates
  and Mythtv-Updates repositories enabled, and am running Mythtv 0.24
  with the stock Adobe flash player present in the repositories ( ).

  The behaviour I am experiencing is that when I set up BBC iPlayer
  (yes, I am in the UK) in MythNetvision with the bbciplayergrabber.py
  script, I can download all the programme titles fine.  However, if I
  try to lauch one of them, the flash player comes up okay and presents
  me with the usual iPlayer "Click to Play" button in the middle of the
  screen.  However, on clicking or tabbing across to the play button and
  hitting enter, iPlayer spins for a bit, then displays the message
  "This content doesn't seem to be working".  This doesn't apply to all
  content sources, and I can play YouTube and MTV titles absolutely
  fine.

  NB. If I navigate to the BBC iPlayer website using MythBrowser,
  however, then the content works fine, albeit in a small (too small)
  window.

  So I wonder if this could be a problem with screen resolution (not
  worked out how to alter that yet), something missing from the
  bbciplayergrabber.py script.  I'm very happy to be entirely
  interactive with sorting the bug out, if pointed in the right
  direction!

  Thanks,

  Chris
